Because I don't know if I want it or not..........I have never shot one. On paper the Equalizer is Bowtech's fastest bow pound for pound. Sitting in a treestand I like my bow at about 62lbs and at 27" my 2003 Patriot flings arrows in the low 270's.........changing NOTHING the Equalizer should be tickling 300. Drawing 60lbs is a piece of cake.........if I can do that and STILL be near 300fps at 27" out of a smooth, quiet, shock free bow then sign me up.

Does the Equalizer live up to all that?? I don't know..........but I would sure like to find out.

If it doesn't then I will buy the Alleigence, which I have already shot and think is a great bow.........didn't think much of the Tribute.


I never thought I would have trouble giving away $2,000 [>:]

Call the Archery Forum onLI. He had one last time I was there. Hes on the bowtech site

Thanks...........but I live in Western NY.

atlas, you should just save your money and buy yourself about 2 ScentLok suits! Sorry, couldn't resist....LOL......I understandyour feelings here, but why not just put the money down and get the one you want?

So you want a dealer to order a bow that you are not sure you want to buy ? He should tie up his money in some inventory that someone might decide he doesn't want ?
Don't tell anyone else that you are from Western , NY ! Please !

I bought some magic beans instead.........same thing I figure




Because I don't know if I want it...........I want to shoot it side by side with an Allegience and make my choice. For all I know the Equalizer may not live up to all the hype........or maybe it does. Only one way to find out.

So what's wrong with that[&:].Does it not have adjustable draw lenthcapabilitys? I don't know but most bows today do.What's a lefty to do if all dealers thought like this?

Yes.........and so does everyone else in this forum.......look at ANY bow advice thread and you will see one common piece of advice......"Go shoot every bow you can and find the one that fits and feels the best to you"

Why do you think bow dealers have racks full of bows for people to feel and shoot??............because they wouldn't sell a thing if all they had was catalogs and pictures []



Yes............that is life as a business owner. No one said he should have 5 of everything in stock.........but if you call yourself a Bowtech dealer you should have that product line in stock for customers.



I have no idea where you are from............a place where bow dealers don't stock bows and people commonly toss down $700 for a bow they have never even held (let alone shot)????

Sounds like Fantasy Island.

I would NEVER buy a bow I didn't shoot first..............NEVER.

extra 30 fps costs $2000 ?

save the money, shoot your 270 fps bow and be happy, MUCH happier in the long run man

If you are serious, call Tony at 3D Archery in Vaughn, Montana. He has both in stock, and would definately sell them to you. (406)-965-3236. He's the best guy I've ever done business with.
